Suggestion: role inheritance

[innocenzi]

There has been multiple requests for this (#128, #161) and they didn't result in an implementation because this feature was thought to not be needed for most users.

However, I think it is pretty common to have a role inheritance, as previous suggestions explained: an administrator would inherit lower roles. This would avoid having to manually apply each permission to every role, or adding roles like moderator and user to administrator.

I know you guys would like to keep things as simple as possible, but this is the permission package and I think this feature would be really appreciated. Thank you 😊

you can assign multiple Roles to the same user

@dennis-git sure, but it doesn't solve the issue. At best, it's a workaround.

What type of inheritance are you needed to implement?
(simple or multiple)

[innocenzi]

In my case, if a role like administrator can inherit a moderator role which would inherit a user role, for instance, it would be enough.

If by multiple inheritance you mean that a role would be able to inherit multiple other roles, I don't personally need it, but I'm sure that it'd be a useful feature.
